The Imperial Guard are among the best divisions of the Blackhelm Confederate Army. The Guard is an capable and loyal force, and receives the best training and equipment the nation can provide.

Differences with the Confederate Ground Forces

The Imperial Guard possesses advantages of personnel and equipment over the larger Confederate Ground Forces. IG armored battalions have nine more tanks than CGF tank battalions, giving them added firepower. Otherwise, the organization of combat arms units in the Guard and regular Army is identical. Another significant difference between the IG and CGF is that all IG troops are highly motivated volunteers rather than conscripts, and are drawn directly from the ranks of other branches. Personnel recruited into the IC are given bonuses, new cars and subsidized housing. Additionally, Imperial Guard forces recieve more intense training that the men of the CGF and recieve the most modern equipment in the Confederate inventory. Finally, and perhaps most importantly in their distinction, the Imperial Guard reports directly to the Chancellery, whereas the CGF and many other units report to the Blackhelm Confederate Senate.

Guard members are easily recognizable by their red berets, rather than the ordinary black of the CGF and are mainly, but not exclusively, Pureblooded Confederates rather than Conurbii or Hesperidisian natives.
